Green Beans: Deer Fail

I found something else that grows in a container and can handle minimal sun: green beans! Fortunately, the plants only grew about 15 inches so I didn't have to stake them. They seemed to intertwine and hold onto each other for support.



I planted one among some similar-looking weeds as a deer test case. They found it, ripped it up by its roots, leaving a gaping hole among the remaining indigenous undergrowth. Even before it fruited. Deer fail.

I had such luck with the beans I started sugar snap peas. Don't know how these will fare, although they did hold up over last week's hurricane-force winds.
